while we're on it : )
Just something I've seen as a common problem with customers and their internet
service providers...
If you ever think you may be having a problem with your provider because you
can't get to a particular website,
try doing a
tracert www.wherever.com
If you start getting responses, its a safe bet your provider
is ok, and a router is down or the web server you are trying to
get to is down. If you don't get any responses, then you aren't getting out
of your internet provider's network.
Try rebooting your system because it could be your system
having the trouble. If still no responses, it could still
be your system, but could be your ISP's system too. May want to
give them a call then.
